The snow in Yanjing City is getting heavier and heavier.
Walking on the street, a biting chill hits your face.
The sky was gray, making people feel a little breathless, especially in the early morning, when the chill almost penetrated the bone marrow.
[Oriental magic, poignant love movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is released today! 】
At the entrances of major theaters, staff hung promotional posters on the most conspicuous shelves.
On the promotional poster, Liu Tingting has a delicate face, charming smile, and extraordinarily bold clothing. She only slightly exposed her white toes, but the enchanting way she licked her lips made people unable to help but blush.
She is the main photo of the promotion, and the side photo shows Zhen Ziwu holding a spear. Zhen Ziwu is wearing armor, majestic, and his eyes are like swords, like a battle-hardened general who has come off the battlefield.
On the other side is Yao Yixing dressed as a scholar. Yao Yixing himself has outstanding appearance, a little feminine, but full of bookishness.
"Is Zhou Yang really going to come?"
"yes."
"Oh, why would he help us promote "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" and really want to poach me?"
"Well, Director Jiang, you are a leader among the younger generation. After Director Zhou Yilin came to the position, conflicts in various aspects have been alleviated..."
Jiang Ge couldn't sleep, so he chose to go to the screening room of Wanda Cinemas where the premiere was held.
"Liao Zhai Painted Skin" benefited from Xinghui's various official promotions and the rhythm of Zhou Yang's Weibo, causing the pre-sale tickets to skyrocket, and even the second day's pre-sale tickets were sold close to 100%
Ninety.
Such a surprise pre-sale ticket made Jiang Ge naturally filled with endless excitement.
This movie was never well-received and insisted on being made. It disobeyed my mentor Cao Bangguo and went through various twists and turns before it was finally released...
This process was full of sadness for Jiang Ge, and it also made Jiang Ge grow up a lot.
"It is necessary to send an invitation letter to Zhou Yang. A person must be tactful and even-keeled. No one can be offended. This is the way to do things. It will never go out of style..."
"He won't come even if I send you the message..."
"Whether he comes or not is his business, but whether he sends his message or not and whether he leaves a place or not is our business. Be generous, remember to be generous..."
What Zhou Yilin said to him a few days ago echoed in his mind.
After going through ups and downs and falling into a trough, Jiang Ge began to agree more and more with Zhou Yilin's philosophy of doing things. He even felt that the era when people like Feng Ruimin had been controlling the film industry was definitely a period of stagnation for Chinese films, and even
It's a retrograde era.
He thought of Cao Bangguo again.
Recently, Cao Bangguo has been busy with "The Righteous Man", and occasionally he took the initiative to say hello to Cao Bangguo. Although his tone was as usual, Jiang Ge felt alienated.
"The premiere probably won't come. The movie is at a critical moment..."
When Jiang Ge talked about the premiere of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" and asked Cao Bangguo if he was free, Cao Bangguo sighed and said this.
Although he could understand it, for some reason, Jiang Ge felt a little uneasy in his heart. When he thought of Cao Bangguo and Zhao Sicheng getting together, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
An invisible barrier has already existed. It seems that the distance between the two parties has become farther and farther. It is no longer the close master-disciple relationship that they once had.
"The premiere box office can exceed 35 million, or even 40 million!"
Thousands of thoughts emerged in his mind, but these thoughts were finally interrupted by Qian Wei's voice.
Qian Wei used to be from Huaxing. After he left Huaxia, he followed him all the time. Although he had a bad temper during this period and even hit Qian Wei with a chair and scolded Qian Wei, Qian Wei kept following him and never
They were always on call. Later, gradually, the relationship between Jiang Ge and Qian Wei became slightly better. Sometimes they became more like good friends, and occasionally they would meet up for a drink together.
The post-production of the film "Liao Zhai" Painted Skin was completely handed over to Qian Wei.
Qian Wei helped contact special effects companies, helped with editing according to his own requirements, and helped with various dubbing...
After a busy few months and falling ill several times, the finished product of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" was produced. Jiang Ge was very satisfied after seeing the finished product, and even vaguely saw the movie becoming a hit.
"Calm down, the movie hasn't been released yet, everything is subject to change!"
Jiang Ge's heart was racing, but after looking at the dawn outside the window, his expression seemed calm.
Time passes minute by minute...
It is about time for him to aspire to the top of China!
……………………
Zhou Yang returned to China.
Starlight in "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" actually accounted for 30%, and the rest of the film investment was basically provided by Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang registered an investment risk company with an English account overseas, and followed Zhou Yilin's hand to hand over the investment company's funds to "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" and signed a gambling agreement.
So although Xinghui made this plate, the real capital behind it was Zhou Yang.
""Laughing all the way" has been released for a month and a half, with a total box office of 630 million. It is expected that the final box office will reach 650 million. I never expected that such a comedy film could achieve such an amazing box office!"
"The total box office of "Crazy Stone" has exceeded 600 million. It has great potential and is expected to exceed 700 million!"
"..."
On the way to the premiere of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", Xu Mei excitedly reported to Zhou Yang the box office performance of the two films.
Zhou Yang had a calm expression on his face as he listened to the box office figures of hundreds of millions.
Whether it's Liu Can, the director of "Crazy Stone" or Zhang Changsheng, the director of "Laughing All the Way", both are actually very talented. It's just that their talents were not recognized in a special period, and they could only be unfortunately buried. Now they have been shown
Given their own opportunities, the two of them will naturally soar into the sky, which is really nothing shocking.
"Mr. Zhou!"
"Mr. Zhou, wow, Mr. Zhou is here!"
"Hello Zhou Yang, can you accept our interview? Why did you come to attend the premiere of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" this time? We are very curious about the relationship between you and Director Jiang. I heard that you had deep conflicts before, and later Jiang
After the director apologized, did you formally reconcile privately?"
"Can we talk about Liu Tianwang? Why did Liu Tianwang join your company? Someone photographed Director Feng Kai and Feng poaching Director Jiang. Is your company deliberately targeting Xinghui?"
"..."
Zhou Yang was surrounded by countless reporters as soon as he got out of the car.
Zhou Yang glanced at Xu Mei and frowned slightly.
During this period of time, I have been filming "Spider-Man" seriously. In my free time, I have been trying to learn James Bunter's shooting skills. Almost all Huaxing's big and small things have been handed over to Wang Jingzai to manage.
so……
He didn't know that Liu Tianwang had switched jobs to their Huaxing company, nor did he know that Feng Kai was in contact with Jiang Ge and was preparing to poach Jiang Ge.
When facing the interview, Zhou Yang chose to smile and remain silent.
Xu Mei stood in front of Zhou Yang and said some "personal choices", "We are not targeting any company", "It is impossible for us and China Star to be tit for tat", "Otherwise we would not accept the invitation to attend the premiere of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin""
Such polite words.
The reporters didn't ask what they wanted to ask, so they were naturally very unwilling to do so. They desperately handed the long guns and short cannons to Zhou Yang, trying to ask for some breaking news, but Zhou Yang refused to respond from the beginning to the end.
After entering the screening room, Zhou Yang met Zhou Yilin.
"President Zhou..."
"Haha, call me Director Zhou, or Brother Zhou. President Zhou is too polite. Don't be so disrespectful. This was my family five hundred years ago."
"..."
When Zhou Yang walked into the premiere hall, he saw Zhou Yilin walking from a distance.
Zhou Yang smiled and said hello to Zhou Yilin, and Zhou Yilin patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder and laughed even louder, even vaguely unscrupulous.
Jiang Ge, who was not far away, also walked over, but after seeing Zhou Yilin and Zhou Yang's close appearance, he felt that Zhou Yilin was hypocritical to the extreme. Intellectually, he felt that he should be such a person, but instinctively he felt repelled.
When Feng Minmin led the China Film Association, Zhou Yang and Zhou Yilin more or less avoided suspicion, and even scolded Zhou Yang a lot in private. But when Feng Minmin stepped down and Zhou Yilin came to power, he began to become more and more unscrupulous.
, there is no hesitation.
Although this duplicitous approach made Jiang Ge uncomfortable, he still came over and greeted Zhou Yang with a smile, as if he had been a friend for many years, and asked his assistant to warmly greet Zhou Yang and sit down.
.
There are still ten minutes until the movie premiere.
People who were supposed to come and people who weren't supposed to come came one after another, but Jiang Ge didn't wait for Feng Ruimin, Shen Jinsong and others to come.
It turns out that only a few leaders from the China Film Association came...
Not only did they not come, not even Li Zhongjun, the boss of the producer and Xinghui Entertainment, came.
Jiang Ge subconsciously looked at the screening room of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces. He didn't know what was going on. He found that in the entire screening room, everyone seemed to be with Zhou Yang, or perhaps
People related to Hua Xing...
"Not here yet?"
"Mr. Li has something to do and can't come now."
"oh."
"Director Jiang, do you want to help reserve the seat?"
"Help keep it."
"OK!"
There were still five minutes left before the premiere. Jiang Ge heard the call from his assistant. The corner of his mouth twitched. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Feng Kai coming.
He didn't invite Feng Kai.
They didn't even leave a place for him. This guy came here just for shamelessness.
"Oh, Director Jiang, the new movie is a hit, congratulations!"
"Hello, Director Feng..."
Jiang Ge said hello to Feng Kai, and then saw Feng Kai walking into the screening room carelessly. He left some empty seats and leaned down to chat with Zhou Yang. Then Zhou Yang and Zhou Yilin stood up together.
Sit in the front row...
Then……
Jiang Ge saw Zhou Yang sitting in Li Zhongjun's seat!
In front of countless reporters and media, Jiang Ge naturally couldn't say anything, so he could only follow into the screening room amid a period of confusion.
Sitting in the main seat, facing the reporters, the more Jiang Ge thought about it, the more he felt wrong.
Donnie Yen didn't come because he was kicked out and is currently very angry. He could help finish the filming of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" and not sue during its release. It would be the best thing to do.
The lead actor Yao Yixing did come, and he looked lonely as he sat in his seat, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.
around him...
There don't seem to be many stellar actors around.
do not know why……
Jiang Ge suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a trap!
